STORE OR SHOP FIXTURE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 416,980, dated December10, 1889.

Application filed March 12, 1889- Serial No. 303,028. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MICHAEL HOFFMAN \VILSON, of Brooklyn, in the countyof Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Store or Shop Fixtures, of which the following is aspecification.

My improvement is particularly adapted for use in barber-shops.

I will describe in detail a store or shop fixture embodying myimprovement, and then point out its novel features in claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a storeor shop fixture embodyingmyimprovement. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal sectionthereof, taken 011 the plane of the line a a, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is avertical section taken on the plane of the line y y, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is aVertical section, partly broken away and showing a modification. Fig. 5is a horizontal section taken on the plane of the line .2 Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all thefigures.

A designates a frame adapted to be set against a wall. This frame may becomposed of wood. It is provided at intervals throughout its length withrearwardly-extending recesses B, formed, as here shown,by partitions a,extending between the front of the frame and its back or the wall. ithinthese recesses are arranged receptacles C. These receptacles comprise acentral hub or shaft Z) and radiallyextending partitions b. The outeredges of said partitions are, as shown, coincident with the peripheriesof shelves D, which shelves are circular in foi m and are arranged intiers. As here shown, said shelvesguard-rail (1 tends to prevent thearticles from being moved accidentally from said recesses. Each of thereceptacles is journaled at top and bottom in suitable bearings arrangedconcentric therewith, in such manner that the receptacles can be readilyrotated in order to bring any of the articles contained thereon into aposition for removal, or to bring any of the recesses in the receptacleinto a position for inserting an article. It will be observed that eachof the receptacles extends into one of the recesses B, formed in theframe A; in fact, at all times nearly onehalf of the receptacles arewithin said recesses B. The portion within the recesses is hidden fromview by the frame. Between the receptacles O mirrors E are arranged inthe frame A. As the frame at the side edges of the openings to saidrecesses extends into close proximity to the said receptacles, the axisof rotation of the receptacles is, as shown, approximately coincidentwith the plane of the mirrors.

In Figs. 1, 4i, and 5 I have shown that the upper portion of each of thereceptacles may be provided with a number of revolving receptacles F,which are independent of the main receptacle, except that they arejournaled therein. In these independent receptacles F bottles andarticles of such height that they could not be advantageously containedin the smaller recesses of the receptacles may be received.

By myimprm ement means are afforded for rapidly obtaining access to anyarticle desired, while the receptacles for such articles occupy verylittle space and extend but a short distance into the room. The entirefixture may be constructed before being placed in the store or shop, andbe subsequently erected therein.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. A store or shop fixture comprising an upright frame provided withrearwardly-extending recesses, revolving upright receptacles forarticles ex tending for about half their diameter into said recesses,vertically-extend ing shafts upon which said receptacles are right frameprovided with rearwardly-extending recesses, revolving uprightreceptacles for articles extending for about half their diameter intosaid recesses, vertically-extending shafts upon Which said receptaclesare journaled, shelves arranged in tiers on said shaft, andVertically-extending partitions extending radially from said. shaft anddividingthe shelves into compartments, the frame at the side edges ofthe openings to said recesses extending into close proximity to saidreceptacles, substantially as specified.

3. A store or shop fixture comprising an upright frame provided WithrearWardly-extending recesses, revolving receptacles for articlesextending for about half theirdiameter into said recesses, vertical]y-exteud in g shafts upon which said receptacles are journaled, theframe at the side edges of the openings to said recesses extending intoclose proximity to said receptacles, and independent revolvingreceptacles arranged upon the receptacles first named and journaledtherein, substantially as specified.
